- This short 1966 documentary dedicated "to all victims of intolerance” depicts the dawn of skateboarding in Montreal. A new activity frowned upon by police and adults, skateboarding gave youngsters a thrilling sensation of speed and freedom. This film - the first Canadian documentary ever made about the sport - captures the exuberance of boys and girls having the time of their lives in free-wheeling downhill locomotion.
Directed by Claude Jutra - 1966
The sarcasm and dry humor in the film are excellent.
"Wheels of circular design" As opposed to those efficient square wheels.

Quite ingenious, really!!
Don't forget that the ground tends to remain stationary.
Bizarro world moment
watching Jeff Grosso's love letters brought me here.. so glad to find such an amazing film.
Thankyou for uploading
"For the moment we are safe but beware: the youth of the world is on the move and their aim is to take over". This soundtrack and footage touchs my heart. Still actual in 2020.
these kids are all in their _sixties_ now. at least.
life is not long. keep each minute well.
and hopefully a few are still skating and have many years ahead of them.
@@5hanesBoard life is the longest thing youll ever do at the same time
Live in then now, the present is all that matters. Time is not as precious as we think.
i met a sixty year old the other day that still rides albeit a longer board and with pads and a helmet but pushing miles from home to get to a park where he could do his workout.
Yes we are. I ride a longboard now. I live 3.3 miles from a skatepark. I let the kids make fun of me all the time. These kids don’t even know what clay wheels were.
Wow, a lot of skaters back then were crazier then the ones today. We have couples deciding to ride on the same board, which would be easier now, but they had small boards back then, and that one where there was a girl on a guy's shoulders, WHAT? No one tries doing that anymore
Children are only allowed to have officially sanctioned fun.
That's what I was thinking, even if you could do an invert, that is scary, your girlfriend on top of you. Double bad luck.
@@shawnmclean7932 on tiny metal wheels and a board with no grip tape. lol.
Mark Gonzales did.
And riding tandem, I totally forgot about that.
Man brings back memories. Everything we used to do back in the day
We used to ride skateboards in the 60s when I was fifteen-sixteen years old and my brother was eleven. He had a Makaha skateboard. I rode a Leisure Line skateboard, a less expensive model. If I fell off a skateboard at my current age I'd fall apart in my own glue. It was great being so young and reckless.
Please share a story of that time... Please, you are like an ancestor of mine in a way... Thank you and apologies if it was too weird or effusive of a request.May you have a great day :)
Dude I get it, I rode in the 70s , we didn’t even know what an Ollie was. Bowls blew our minds. I remember riding and falling all day. These days I got about one or two fall per day ( geared up) I remember when we used to line rocks down a hill so we could slalom. He didn’t have pads or helmets.
Skaters have the same spirit since the 60s
Seeing them in the ice rink skating was like seeing captured coral reef fish being put in a fish tank with no where to swim to anymore. That part hits hard
goes to show this shits timeless. i love skateboarding.
People will still be skating in 2100
@@neighbor9672 I fully believe that
Splendid! I believe Claude Jutra made a number of films for the NFB before getting into feature films. It's interesting that the skateboarders are all anglophone kids, with some of their dialogue subtitled in French.
This is beautiful! Thanks for sharing it.
Here from the Bill Danforth interview
A great flick, lovin those old boards
This is beautiful
Speechless.
Love the music and closing song. Song sung by Genevieve Bujold
Enjoyed this very much .. !! thank you .
epic!
priceless gem, this RIDE Channel
Sick footage! But it's no wonder the police was pissed, did you see the milk bottles on their hands? And in the middle of the day...
it feels as if Captain Holt from Brooklyn 99was doing a description of what skateboarding is about xD
wonderful piece of art
Back when kids played outside.
Looks like a music video for The Smiths
The music at 12:38 is so beautiful.
What are the names of the spots they used to skate?
Must have been a famine in the 1960s - none of these kids are anywhere near 260 pounds like lucky people today.
The youth in this video are about 70yrs old now and I don`t think they took over.
Yeah, they did take over. They are boomer generation, and that generation changed the social norms and now has most of the country's wealth.
Have you seen him?
This is mentioned in the Vans documentary about skateboarding in Canada. They said the director had a questionable history. Can anyone elaborate?
Clickbait love letters to skateboarding?
Director died in 1986, allegations of child rape in 2016, with one survivor having come forward. He had awards named for him that were renamed in wake of the allegations.

Bill Danforth Talkin' Schmit brought me here.
Loved it :)
Lol, I guess some things never change, XD

Can anyone tell me the name of the skateboarding history documentary that featured this film for the beginning?
It's all the same documentary, isn't it?
Now kids are chugging mouth wash for a internet "challenge"
Quem é BR deixa o like

Where's Gary Chase?
What's the song at 10:00?
Pierre F. Brault - Rouli-roulant
@@timothylegg I love that composer!
What’s the song at 13:00
We’re they made by skull and bones?
Back then: a board an wearing no brand, you were well come. No posers. Today: a board and must-worn brand, or otherwise you're a poser. Sad that a kid is downlooked nowadays just because of their outfit.
Hooligans, hooligans, hooligans, hooligans! >:v
E oq kkkk
7:15

Nothing hits quite like a boy on crutches fleeing the police for…riding a skateboard…I guess?? 😂
